New Threat, Footage Ahead Of 9/11
Nearly two years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Al Qaeda has purportedly made new terror threat, and new footage has surfaced of airplanes slamming into World Trade Center.
A new audio tape that claims to be from Al Qaeda threatens Americans everywhere, and denies responsibility for the deadly mosque bombing in Iraq a week ago that killed at least 85 people, including a powerful moderate cleric.
The speaker, who identified himself as Al Qaeda spokesman Abdul Rahman Al-Najdi, also claimed the United States is playing down its casualties in Afghanistan.
The tape was broadcast over the Arabic television station Al Arabiya.
A new video of the Sept. 11 attacks has been discovered -- the only one known to have captured both planes hitting the World Trade Center towers.
The tape, shot by a Czech immigrant construction worker riding in an SUV, is only the second known image of the first strike.
A new CBS News poll suggests nearly one-third of all voters say the Bush Administration has made a lot of progress in making the nation safer since Sept. 11, 2001, and another 47 percent say it has made some progress. Even a majority of Democrats - who are quite critical of the Bush administration on other matters - give the president credit on this front, and 79 percent of independents say there has been progress.
